Hello. I've a EchoLife HG520s router. I've 3 PCs connected to the LAN ports, one is mine. Is it possible to check the internet traffic on each LAN port? (MBytes consumed). Is it posibble to view in my PC the internet traffic of the other PCs? Thanks

A real easy way is to connect a hub to one of your router LAN ports and connect your 3 PC's to the hub. You can then use Wireshark to capture all traffic. Great solution if you're looking for something specific in the short term, not so much if you're looking for something permanent/long term or for a solution that will grow.

A hub by design broadcasts all traffic out all ports, so it would be plug and play. Managed switches can be programmed to do port mirroring to capture traffic, but by design they limit traffic to the destination port once it's discovered through ARP. If you don't have a hub you can pick one up for under 10 bucks.
